GN Version 4.0
- start out as Peter Johnson
- use a cricket bat to defend yourself
- clueless as to what's going on at first
- storyline is based around three characters who offer the player the point of view on what's going on in London
- main story characters are the mission-givers
- characters will be offering their point of view on the Black Prophecy
- discover another language that you can write in and decrypt for other players

The Prepper

- has a very deep voice with a Yorkshire accent
- acts as your mentor and guide throughout the entire first part of the story
- helps you get started in the game, but has other things to tackle later on
- believes the word of John Dee
- the Prepper expects a second fire to come over London and wipe out the zombies

John Dee

- real historical figure
- considered Britain's Nostradamus
- he was the magus of Elizabeth I, the court astrologer and the first cryptographer
- he was the one who signed his letters to Elizabeth I as 007
- predicted the first Great Plague of London in 1665
- predicted the second in 2012
- The Black Prophecy is that of John Dee
- the Prepper believes that John Dee was right

The Ravens Of Dee

- survivalist group
- semi-pro group
- believe that the prophecy is a warning
- they want to help prepare Londoners to survive and outlive the outbreak
- looking to create a new civilization after

The Scientist

- doesn't believe John Dee's predictions
- junior doctor in the royal household
- hidden down in the bunkers where the Queen has had him continue to explore ways to cure or [find] a vaccine to save the world

Sandra

- leader of the Ravens Of Dee
- wants to follow John Dee's predictions, but not to the letter

The story

- origin of the Prepper and other characters are all built around a big back story
- apocalyptic fiction, zombie fiction and a little bit of historical fiction
- find documentation that discusses John Dee's findings
- go through the story without finding the backstory documents, if you so choose

Survival Mode

- only get one life

Hopes for a sequel

London gets firebombed but it may rise from the cinders so we don't know. Hopefully there will be a ZombiU 2 and we'll see what happens or maybe even period dress costumes or something. We'll get back to John Dee and run around have to kill Francis Bacon. That would be fun. - Ubisoft's Gabrielle Shrager
